>but can you test this?
I have already tested different parameters, and found that even zero timeout is unsatisfactory.
The introduction of reclaim_throttle() itself dramatically worsens the stall in near-OOM.

What test else I should perform?
Okay, on one side of the scale is the use of the CPU, on the other side is the risk of stall.
My dissatisfaction is caused by the fact that the scale has now tipped sharply in favor of stall. Although even before this change, users complained about the inability to wait for OOM: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d9802b6a-949b-b327-c4a6-3dbca485ec20@gmx.com/
